From the late 1700s into the 1900s, a mill complex operated along Fiddlers Creek, where the creek was dammed to create a millpond that powered the mill. First owned and operated by the Titus family and later known as Agnew & Snook Mills, the site had become one of Hopewell's busiest mills by 1850, when the sawmill employed four workers, driven by land clearing for settlement and the rafting of logs down the Delaware River. In the 1870s the complex also operated as a grist mill producing wheat, rye, cornmeal, oatmeal, buckwheat, and feed. By the late 1870s, the sawmill had ceased operation as raw wood supplies from area forests dwindled, and in 1879 fire destroyed the mill. A rubber mill replaced the facility and operated into the early 1900s.
